OH what a night!
They say Rome wasn’t built in a day, but the Romans were certainly brought to their knees in just an hour and a half at Old Trafford. They got their ass kicked Spartan style but in the form of a football match. No casualties were calculated, but pride, honor, fame and reputation fell like how each Persian’s soldier fell with blood ousting out of their wounds in the epic movie of 300.
Man United Epic Movie came in a match of the CHAMPION LEAGUE quarter-final when the Reds ran riots in their own back yard of Old Trafford, with many mouth watering and quality goals in a match that left the fans on the edge of their seat through out the whole game.
In 19 mins, Man United was 3-0 with Michael Carrick, Alan Smith and Rooney on the score board. Carrick gave United the lead with a stunning, spontaneous stike from Michael Carrick in the 12th minute. Smith claimed the second with a run into the area and with a tap into the empty net. Rooney who had a goal drought whose goal in the previous game gave the Reds hope added the 3rd goal, tucking the ball home into the lower corner.
Ronaldo added 2 goals to the tally with one stunner each coming before and right after the half time mark. Carrick moved on to claim his second of the night with a superb curler floated into the top corner from outside the penalty box. Obviously the resistance from the Romans was futile.
At 6-0 down, they manage to pull one back with a one touch volley from De Rosi and claim their hard earned consolation goal. The Reds fans were not through with 6 goals, despite being hoarse after a 6 goal celebration, they wanted more!! Subsitute Patrick Evra answered their call with a hammering shot in and off the goal post of the exasperated and sorrowful Doni, Roma’s keepers. Never in his life had he felt the way he had that night.
The Reds and their fans were in seventh heaven, 7 goals in a game after enduring years of low scoring in the Champion League. Many will say this performance has surpass that of the liverpool’s in Istanbul, they never agrees but deep in their mind, they know that this performance is one they never can match.
How did I celebrate? I could’t sleep after that match, I was wide awake with the excitement that is yet to come. Another shot at the Treble I presume. I wore the Man Utd jersey after I almost torn the t-shirt I was wearing when Man Utd went on a rampage. Certainly, the Romans were dejected and remorseful after the match. Man Utd fought like warriors against all odds that they have a list of injuried players.
